Young families

Choosing the right country to raise a new family in can be life changing for their quality of life in the long-run. For example, Denmark are dedicated to reducing their carbon footprint by encourage carpooling and public transport. Not to mention that all new mothers receive their first full year of maternity paid as well as free child care.

Retirees

There can be no better feeling than choosing to spend the Autumn years of your life relaxing and passing the time in some of the amazing destinations across Europe. Notably, most recently we have been out to the East of France where they benefited from almost year-round sunshine.

We have a range of options to coordinate your next international move based on both the size of your job and the budget you are working towards.

Airfreight

Without doubt the quickest method to transport your goods to Europe, however, it is also the most expensive form of transport. The process starts with your goods being packed in to containers that are then loaded on to aircraft that are specifically designed to transport shipments via charter or commercial air carriers. Your goods are then flown directly via commercial or passenger airports local to your required destination. Once the plane lands at the required destination your goods are then unloaded placed within local removal vehicles and transported directly to your residence.

Road Freight

This is the next most time efficient method of removals. Your goods are packed into the removals truck. The truck is then sealed, and the team are dispatched directly to your residence. This method can take up to 1-2 weeks depending on where in the world the goods are going to, but your moves manager will give you an expected time frame for delivery.

Sea freight

Our most cost-effective option for European removals. This means of delivery can take 5-6 weeks to allow for the containers to be loaded and arrive at the relevant ports. These can be done as either a specific load for your removal, allowing you exclusive use of the container. Or, if you are looking to streamline your budget, the containers can be catalogued in one of our groupage schemes.

Testimonials

Full house removal

I recently used this company for a removal job and the work carried out was excellent. The two gentlemen who attended to the job were very efficient and courteous throughout, the whole job taking just three hours from start to finish. What I was expecting to be a very stressful day turned into the opposite thanks to the two of them

Removal and storage of home contents

Moving home can be stressful and everyone at Mr Shifter were courteous and helpful at all times. My home contents were put in storage and Matthew and his colleague were very careful with taking all my boxes down two flights of stairs with no problems at all. They were friendly and exceptionally tidy. I often spoke to Louise in the office and she was extremely helpful and friendly at all times. Would recommend Mr Shifter at all times

House move (removals). Long distance around 250 miles

Would've taken 2 days but due to unforeseen last minute issue with house purchase. They had almost finished packing the house to be informed of a delay (nothing to do with this company, just an awkward house purchase). Thankfully they were able to move our possessions into storage for a week and deliver to the new home. Which helped eliminate a great deal of stress, even with the added cost of doing this

Removals - moving from one house to another

The 2 gentleman arrived on time as agreed. They were both very professional and courteous. They were very efficient in loading and unloading, which took a lot of the stress off me. I would highly recommend and would definitely use them again. No need to look for anyone else to do any sort of moving job. I arranged this move at short notice and was impressed with the courteous service I received from my initial enquiry with the office, right through to the end of the move
